It's like Desantis is desperately trying to turn the state blue. If they don't lock down The Villages and Century Village (two city-sized retirement complexes in FL) they could fundamentally change politics in this state forever.

Not that I'm complaining.

So from what I read, instead of shelter in place this is a "safer at home" "order" which to me seems meaningless.

They're universally great if you're a professional with good hiring prospects, working for a corporation. But lovely for pretty much anyone who isn't in a high-paying field that's also in demand.

The Guardian Football podcast lot are watching classic games and discussing those. The last podcast I listened to they had watched the Maradonna "Hand of God" match together (remotely) and where saying how bullshit a lot of the British mythologizing of that match was.

Don't bother with a mask unless you expect to have someone hold you down and start coughing in your face. Anything besides a n95 is basically a cloth barrier that will stop spit and mucus hurling at you.

So I should probably avoid the dentist office huh? I have an appointment in a few weeks and I'm horribly nervous about going. They are exposed to so many people there, and have to get so close to them. Sounds like the worst place to go right now.

surgical masks don't form a tight seal so when you inhale you'll still be getting straight virusey air. but if you are asymptomatic and spreading it'll keep most of the virus in there when you breathe out; this is really the best argument for wearing surgical masks imo

a cloth mask with a good tight seal around your face is a bunch better than nothing though i think

honestly the CDC guidance doesn't mean much if there aren't enough masks to go around. figuring out how to best use homemade poo poo is probably the way to go for now (things like what materials, how long can you wear before it loses effectiveness, whatever)

unless it's something critical i would call and cancel if they haven't already, my canceled my appts and kids appts that were to be this week. they definitely don't have equipment to safeguard their employees working in anyone's mouth i would think is the reason.
